Yeah, so my relationship is great.
Dr. Tenenbaum has been my doctor for 15 years, been our family doctor.
He's one of the rare great primary care physicians who also is very open to alternative healing modalities.
And he will recommend...
like i was having some uh build up in my arteries and he recommended taking garlic and i really took garlic like religiously for years and it seemed to actually have a positive effect now you know you can't completely know but he's he's open to you know acupuncture and and different uh herbal remedies and he does a lot of studying about like you know with making sure it's data
And he's great.

And, but he had to go to concierge because otherwise you just couldn't get in to see him because he had to, his choice is like, I either need to have a thousand patients and people can't get in to see me for three months, or I have 300 patients paying a concierge.
and then that way you can get in the next week or two.

I've spoken to him about my issues with addiction and alcoholism in the past, and he's very knowing there.
I've seen psychiatrists, but...
You know, my mental health, again, I'm very, very lucky.
